You know how it is – see, Diabetics usually end up dying of heart attacks. Heart attacks are caused by blocked arteries, and cholesterol is for sure to blame.
Okay, if you follow me, you know I think that is bullshit. I read a few books and articles in my time, and I have consciously decided what I need to do based on feedback from my body. A high carb diet is NOT what my body needs; it can’t handle the surges of blood glucose.
Last night I found myself in a very upscale restaurant at a Fairmont resort. The thing about Fairmont that sets the company apart from other competitors is they go the “extra mile” to bring you a memory. Case in point:
That’s awesomeness at it’s best!
Because the culture of the company is based on anticipating the client’s desires, the staff are able to “Wow” you at every turn. From the bellman coming to your room with stickers and a coloring book for your son, to a server who talks to the kitchen about your dietary needs and makes it happen for you.
I am following my Primal Plus Rice plan, so I ordered this beast:
Great dish, full of awesome smells. Just missing the beurre blanc.
I mentioned it to the server, and she was not aware of the missing sauce. I’m on vacation, so I let it go. Gotta turn off the chef once in a while. LOL
My wife was digging into chicken fingers with a chipotle mayonnaise. She’s not fussy on spicy, so I got her mayo and asked for another.
I got the famous line, “Can you have that?”
Some people would get pissed with that. I used to work for The Fairmont, so I understand she was just trying to stay 1 step ahead of me.
Yes, I can have that fatty sauce.
When she came back with my mayonnaise, she also brought my buerre blanc. I knew it wasn’t her fault, a cook or sous chef had made the dietary decision based on their training. Unfortunately because I am diabetic that means nonfat for me!
Supper was awesome, and the place was fantastic. Would I eat there again? In a heartbeat. The pocketbook won’t let me though.
